Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Probus coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck and prosperity, on its reverse side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was experiencing a period of relative peace and prosperity, and that the emperor Probus was seeking to promote these positive themes through the currency.
